Chelsea will not approve the signing of Ryan Fraser from Bournemouth.

The Scottish international is available on a free when the season concludes.

And the 26-year-old was interesting Blues boss Frank Lampard, per The Athletic.

But the source claims that the Chelsea board have made a U-turn, after initially agreeing to the transfer.

Now it appears that Lampard may have to make another appeal to the board to push the signing through.

But he may also decide not to fight their wishes, and target another winger instead.

Fraser has a goal and four assists in 32 games this term.
